Raw Macaroons

What goes best with the Super Bowl?  Food of course!  This recipe doesn't really match the traditional football fare but I've been wanting to make something raw for quite some time.  And since I tend to have a sweet tooth I thought a raw dessert was perfect.  This was the first recipe I happened to find, and low and behold despite lacking on groceries I had everything.  The only exception was my dried coconut was sweetened so they turned out extra sweet.  Or maybe it was all that LOVE I put in?

Ingredients in.  I happened to have almond flour/meal so I was able to skip a step.  I wasn't going to process/blend it at all but then ended up deciding to since the coconut was rather coarse.  Oh an another variation of the recipe was that my dried 'cherries' was a blend of a couple different berries.

Dehydrated.
 I don't have a dehydrator so I used the oven on the lowest setting possible, 170 degrees which might be above the 'raw' standards but it was a start none the less and they are yummy.


Oh and just to brag a little I technically made 2 things today.  I made my daughter a 'super bowl' sensory box.  It was lots of fun and kept her busy while we watched the game.  Just rice and little footballs.
